Military Collectibles - New Aqs/What have you got?

[Charlie]

Picked this up from eBay is is a lighter from Ashiya AFB where my grandfather was stationed.  I pretty much have got all the basic stuff, but my saved searches bring in a few items a year now that peak my interest...  My grandparents house burned down a few years before I was born so there wasn't any of his WWII/Korean War items other than what he had at his office us at the VA.

You pay your grandfather tribute by finding and acquiring items like this lighter. I'll bet he is very proud to have a grandson who remembers him and honors his service.
Good for you, Charlie!

Were you measuring it Paul?

Haha, that's just my poster measuring tape, I have a wooden rule for other measuring needs....

I have a cut throat razor, my great grandfather took to WW1.
He won some medal (I always thought it was a Victoria Cross- but I am not sure now) for leading his troops over a mine field (them walking in his foot prints as seen on screen I am sure). Also a letter from the King saying thanks mate.
